About
Faithfulness Program
Summer Student
Teams That
Equip Ministry Mindsets
Travel Teams offers experience with sharing your faith, learning many ministry skills, giving testimonies, building team relationships, and so much more! Team members memorize scripture, learn to spend quality time with God, are a part of a discipleship group, and learn how to work hard. Foundational character qualities will be emphasized and taught by pastors, national ministry leaders, and trained adult mentors.
Teams generally have between 20 – 30 members, with the ratio of adult leaders to students as 1:5 to encourage quality training.
No matter what stage of spiritual growth and development a student is at coming into the summer experience, they can leave having grown by leaps and bounds, ready to return with a heart to serve God and others. Travel teams won’t focus on performance based skills that have been associated with Operation Barnabas in the past in order to better expose students to various ministry models and equip them with a Biblical framework of servant leadership within the context of the local church.
Travel Teams are for any high school student regardless of their involvement in their youth ministry and/or leadership structure. However, for those ministry minded students who have shown a desire to pursue ministry leadership we are adding a student leadership level within both of our summer travel teams. These students have opportunities to learn additional principles and be challenged in leadership engagement in greater ways upon returning home.

Worship Travel Team
This Travel Team is for students who are interested in pursuing specialized training in leading worship. Whether playing an instrument, singing, planning and leading a worship set, or even assisting with technical pieces behind the scenes, this is a can’t miss opportunity in which students will gain the personal and spiritual growth associated to Travel Teams as well as specialized training from professionals and experts in these fields!
After Travel Teams: Faithfulness Program
Since participating on Travel Teams is not an end result but rather a step in the process, it is an expectation that Travel Teams Alumni be involved with the Travel Teams Faithfulness Program for at least the 5 months immediately following their tour on Travel Teams. There are three options you may choose to be involved in as a participant in the Travel Teams Faithfulness Program. With all of these options, there is an expectation for you to be actively attending your sending church/home church on a weekly basis. (If in college away from home, you need to find a local church there to plug into) and using On Track Devotions (supplied monthly on this Travel Teams website page) on a daily basis.

Travel Teams challenge students in their walk with the Lord. As we equip students in the Bible and challenge them through devotions, discipleship relationships, and ministry experiences, students typically come to a deeper desire to know more about God’s character and a relationship with Jesus.
Students on Travel Teams know what it’s like to sleep on both a floor and a bed; to eat church carry-in dinners and McDonalds; and to work in inner-city as well as rural settings. Teams generally have between 20 – 30 members with the ratio of adult leaders to students as 1:5. As students experience challenges, serving, faith, and growth together, tight-knit bonds are made in the friendships and community of their team.
During Travel Teams, members focus on memorizing scripture, learning to spend quality time with God, are a part of a discipleship group, and they learn how to work hard. Foundational character qualities are emphasized and taught by pastors, national ministry leaders, and trained adult mentors. Character traits emphasized and put into action through Travel Teams are applicable in any area of life and include how students see other people, personal responsibility, timeliness, a servant’s heart, attitude, communication skills, professional behavior, and more!
Students are coached and equipped in hands on ministry opportunities. We not only utilize training experiences to help students effectively minister to others but we create opportunities to put what students are learning immediately into practice. Students are taught a ministry mindset that looks to be on mission wherever our teams are and after our students return home.
